Project COACH Observation Model A collaborative, coaching model based on the work of Kim Marshall

Project COACH This model is about developing a shared understanding of what good teaching looks like 4 level Scoring System This model is primarily about development and collaboration

Design of Mini-Observations Principals see everyday teaching in action Principals give prompt, meaningful feedback Teachers and evaluators discuss feedback

Components to each mini-observation Classroom Observation 1 Unannounced Minimum of 10 minutes Teacher planning session, parent meeting, extra-curricular activity.

Components to each mini-observation Communication 2 Administrator discusses observation with teacher, giving specific and actionable feedback on both strengths and areas for growth Meeting will be face-to-face Meetings to last 5-10 minutes Ideally occurs in classroom or neutral location Administrator to deliver feedback within 2 school days

Components to each mini-observation Documentation 3 Administrator completes the observation template in T-Eval including brief notes on the observation with a focus on the feedback conversation within 5 school days The template will provide teachers with an opportunity to respond in writing

The number of length of observations will range from 4 to 8, depending upon the teacher’s certification and any previous observation data.

Components of Summative Evaluation Observations/Evidence 1 Minimum required mini-observations Additional non-classroom observations conducted Other information such as portfolios or artifacts, if applicable

Components of Summative Evaluation Scoring/Feedback 2 Administrator scores each teacher across all indicators within the applicable domains Rating of 1-4 (1=Does not meet standards; 4=Highly effective) Administrator provides comments, examples Administrator selects “allow teacher to view”

Components of Summative Evaluation Communication 3 Evaluator communicates evaluation to teacher during conference Individualized professional growth plan is developed in collaboration with teacher PIP developed when required Evaluator “submits” evaluation

Portfolios/Artifacts Specific artifacts identified by the administrator as a requirement must be submitted by the last date for mini-observations. Additional artifacts may be submitted by the teacher in response to any scored indicators on the summative. These artifacts must be submitted within 5 days of the Summative Conference.

Artifacts to use for Summatives
